Enabling Mobile Commerce Optimization for Clients Well in Advance of Google’s Mobilegeddon

June 22, 2015, Bridgeport CT - GoECart, a leading provider of fully integrated omni-channel solutions, today announced that it has won the prestigious Silver Award in the 2015 Connecticut Quality Improvement Award Competition (CQIA). This is the seventh year in a row the omni-channel commerce platform provider received a CQIA Innovation Prize.

By bestowing the award on GoECart yet again, the CQIA is acknowledging the company's commitment to ongoing innovation, as the CQIA promotes and recognizes excellence and innovation in CT based organizations.

GoECart received this year’s award because it proactively upgraded many of its client’s ecommerce sites to be mobile-optimized well in advance of Google’s shake-up of search rankings. Google said: “Starting April 21 (2015), we will be expanding our use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal. This change will affect mobile searches in all languages worldwide and will have a significant impact in our search results.”i

While many eCommerce platform providers and clients appear to have been taken surprise by the Google and subsequent Bing algorithm changes, as well as the overall rise in m-commerce sales, GoECart saw this opportunity arising and implemented changes to its platform and client websites well in advance. By offering omni-channel merchants full mobile optimization as a native functionality of the commerce platform, GoECart positioned their clients for success while their competitors scrambled to catch up.

Similarly, when comparing from a two week period before and after GoECart optimized their site for mobile users, yet another client, Identity Stronghold a B2B/B2C ecommerce company, also saw immediate, measurable results: Mobile conversions surged by 35% and mobile revenue soared 50%. “All this data and more proves that GoECart clients have realized both short-term and sustainable long-term gains across all important mobile KPIs by deploying the GoECart native m-commerce solution,” says Manish Chowdhary, GoECart Founder and CEO. “It’s extremely gratifying for us to see our clients succeed, and winning the CQIA award is the icing on the cake, as it means that our peers are recognizing our efforts at innovation as well.”
